Gorka Marquez has told fans he's 'lucky' as he paid tribute to fiancee Gemma Atkinson on her birthday. The Strictly Come Dancing star took to Instagram to publicly wish his future wife a happy birthday as she turned 39 on Thursday (November 16).
Gorka, 33, shared a string of snaps with his followers, the first showing him and Gemma smiling for the camera while out on a recent autumn walk.
Other images showed the birthday girl with the couple's two children - four-year-old daughter Mia and four-month-old son Thiago - and ones of them snacking in bed together.
But one photo seemed particularly emotional. It showed Gemma embracing her partner in the Strictly ballroom. The snap appeared to have been taken last year when Gorka made it to the final of the BBC One dance contest alongside Helen Skelton before they missed out on the Glitterball to 2022 winners Hamza Yassin and Jowita Przystał.
